These flourless peanut butter cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with rich peanut butter flavor. Made with just a handful of ingredients, they’re naturally gluten-free and perfect for a quick, satisfying snack!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (avoid natural, drippy varieties)
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips or peanut butter chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until smooth.
  3. Add Peanut Butter: Stir in the peanut butter until fully combined. Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
  4. Chill Dough (optional but recommended): Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape.
  5. Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoon-sized balls onto the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
  6. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set. The centers should still look soft—they’ll firm up as they cool.
  7. Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
